And when you've got the next episode right at your fingertips, watching it right away can be very tempting.

Doing just that without waiting for your significant other is a new form of cheating dubbed by New York Magazine as Netflix Adultery. And in a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Netflix, 51% of those in a relationship would "cheat" on their spouse/partner/significant other by streaming a TV program that was intended to be watched together.

Sneaky.

Some people (12%) even watch it again and pretend it's the first time they've seen it, with no one the wiser.

More specifically, more than 28 million U.S. adults (12%) confessed they already had cheated while 10% admitted they had been "cheated on."

Other findings:

66% would cheat at home alone, 21% while their partner was asleep, 12% at work and 5% in the bathroom
Younger couples are more likely to cheat, but they're also more likely to fess up
Older couples choose to not even bother getting into a fight about it and continue to lie
77% of men said they'd cheat, while only 57% of women said they would
